Social and emotional (SE) skills are known to be linked to many important life outcomes, some of which fall in the academic domain. For example, meta-analytic analyses show that conscientiousness (a trait related to self-management, perseverance, and being organized and planful) accounts for 28% of the explained variance in academic performance even when controlling for cognitive ability (Mammadov, 2021). Data also reveal that SE skills are related to performance on standardized college entrance exams (Anguiano-Carrasco et al., 2022). In a recent study with long-term tracking of high school students, those who came from schools with a strong emphasis on SE skill development were more likely to enroll in college within two years of high school graduation (Jackson et al., 2022). There is, however, little research on SE skills predicting college enrollment. This study examines the extent to which SE skills have incremental validity in predicting postsecondary enrollment above socioeconomic status (SES), high school grade point average (HS GPA), and ACT Composite scores.
